Hi All, Well, grin, maybe I spoke too soon about sticking with ActiveSync 4.1; although, if I want to use both my BN and IPAQ running Windows Mobile 5.0, guess I'll have to keep up with the times and use this version. But, when I said last weekend that I was able to transfer files just fine between my BN and PC, I hadn't yet tried a Word file, only TXT and BRF and EML and JCK files. (For those who are curious, the JCK file refers to the Just Checking program from Brent Shelton that I use on my PC.)
Anyway, I usually like to keep at least some of my files in Word format for what used to be easy converting from one machine to another. But, when I tried to ActiveSync a PWD file from the BN to a DOC file on the PC this morning, doing so with ActiveSync 4.1 for the first time, I got the message about unresolved items. Then, when on the PC I entered on tools and then resolve items, I got the following error message: Error Converting File Cannot convert file '2'. The converter component "CERICHED.DLL" could not be found. OK. Then, when I entered on the OK button, I got the following message: Synchronized Files Synchronization cannot be completed because a file cannot be synchronized with your mobile device. Close all programs on your mobile device and this computer, and synchronize again. OK When I tried to convert files in the other direction, meaning from my PC to the BN, trying to convert them from DOC to PWD files, I got the following error when I entered on tools and then resolve items on the PC, an error message witch opened in a separate window on the PC: Backup Error There was a problem backing up your Synchronized Files folder. Please close all other applications and try again. OK. And, when I pressed the OK button on that, then I got the same error as when trying to convert from PWD to DOC files: Error Converting File Cannot convert file 'gprs'. The converter component "CERICHED.DLL" could not be found. OK. Then, when I pressed OK on that, I got the following error: Synchronized Files Cannot copy 'gprs.doc'. Make sure your mobile device has sufficient memory, that the file is not set as read-only, and that you have permission to copy this file type. OK. Also, if I changed the conversion type to PSW rather than PWD, the files did convert from my PC to the BN, but they were completely unreadable. Now, when I turned off the conversion option in ActiveSync, then the files transferred just fine in both directions. Well, they seemed to transfer fine in both directions, the DOC files I tried seemed to open just fine on the BN; however, in order to get the PWD files to open on the PC, I needed to go into the file in KeySoft and write something and then resave the file as a PWD file and then open it on the PC. For, if I didn't do it that way, I got this error: Microsoft Word This file needs to be opened by the Pocket Word Document text converter, which may pose a security risk if the file you are opening is a malicious file. Choose Yes to open this file only if you are sure it is from a trusted source. Yes No. Then, when I said yes, I got this message: Microsoft Word The document name or path is not valid. Try these suggestions. * Check the file permissions for the document or drive. * Use the File Open dialog box to locate the document. (gprs.pwd) OK. Anyone else have this happen with ActiveSync 4.1? The files all converted just fine, meaning to PWD on the BN or DOC on the PC, when using version 3.8 of ActiveSync. And, I got the errors I just spoke of with both my PK and mPower, both running KeySoft 7.0. ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
